Wellbeing Supports for Staff and Leaders
Ongoing Support is Available to You
While a tentative agreement has now been reached and the ratification process will unfold in the coming days, we recognize the significant amount of work and enormous disruption that planning for and anticipating a work stoppage can have on individuals and teams. Just as we come together to support patients, clients and residents, we also have supports in place for the teams, staff and leaders who may need some additional resources during what has been a challenging time.
Supports available:
- One-on-one support line for all staff: Call our dedicated Wellbeing Leaders for personalized support. They are here for you to listen, provide support, and connect you with any appropriate resources to help you navigate this challenging time.
- Drop-in virtual wellbeing practice sessions for all staff – New Sessions Added
- Supports available through your Manager: Wellbeing Check-Ins and On-Site or Virtual Drop-In Support from Wellbeing Leaders.
- Support for leaders: Consultation support is available to assist leaders in supporting their team and organizing services on-site or virtually.
